I highly recommend the Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour with guide Erika! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the neighborhood and its history.
The tour itself was informative and enjoyable. We learned about the different styles of architecture in the neighborhood. And it was amazing to discover that the entire section of land was originally used for the Southern Exposition in the late 1800s. As a first time visitor to Louisville, this tour is a must!
